Watching the little bastard store the dry goods, then pick up the small jar and walk out. Yu Hong hurried to catch up, he had to learn where to get water. The two walked out of the house, and to his surprise, the little bastard did not go to the well to fetch water, but walked out of the gravel road and walked out along the old road. They walked for about ten minutes. The two found a rotten well with low terrain on the side of the road. The well was very shallow, and you could see with the light that there was only a pool of dark yellow stinky water at the bottom. Without saying a word, the little bastard tied the water jar with a rope and put it down to scoop water. "Why don't you go to the well in the village to fetch water?" Yu Hong couldn't help but whispered. "That's not drinkable!" The little bastard answered seriously. She looked up while fetching water and looked at Yu Hong.
"In the future, water, come, here!" She pointed to the well in front of her. "." Yu Hong nodded. Looking down at the stinky water slowly coming out of the well, his mood became heavier. Helped Xiao Jieba to seal the water tank to prevent it from spilling. They did not go back, but began to look for something in the nearby grass. "Must. Eat. Grass!" Xiao Jieba taught him. "Otherwise, you will get sick! You will die!" She gestured to explain. Yu Hong nodded and began to carefully learn which grasses the other party dug. This is a very valuable experience. If you eat the wrong ones, you may get poisoned or have diarrhea. In such a harsh environment, getting sick may mean weakness and death. After a collection, the two of them each took a large bag back to the house. Xiao Jieba put the grass on the window of the house to dry. Yu Hong carefully used charcoal to record the experience he learned. He only recorded the key points, or a simplified version, as long as he could understand it. The recording medium was a newspaper that Xiao Jieba had given him before. "Do we have to go far away to buy dried meat and dried mushrooms?" Yu Hong wrote it down and looked up and asked. "You can grow them yourself." Xiao Jieba answered with difficulty, "But it's not cost-effective!" Yu Hong nodded and recorded it. He was about to continue asking, but suddenly a small notebook was handed to him. The cover of the notebook was white, with a cartoon mouse pattern in the middle. On it was written crookedly: Survival Manual - Lin Yiyi. Yu Hong was silent for a while, looked up, and saw the little stutterer holding the notebook, grinning at him, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Thank you." He took the notebook and opened it to read.
It carefully recorded how to get water, how to buy food, the characteristics of some basic wild vegetables and where to find them. There was not much content, but it was very detailed. Moreover, it also recorded several villagers who could be contacted in Baiqiu Village, as well as the corresponding contact information. Among them, Lao Yu was the one who made jerky, and Dr. Xu was responsible for treatment and treatment, a person named Jenny was responsible for leather craftsmanship, and there was also a candle maker. In addition, the residences of other villagers were marked. But no names were written, obviously unfamiliar. Finally, there was a place called the Post Office, located in a forest north of Baiqiu Village. "What does the Post Office do?" Yu Hong asked. "Contact the city and town, import salt and sugar, and send letters." The little stutterer had a hard time speaking. She danced and gestured. "You must master a skill to exchange materials with people." "I understand. I understand all this, but I think the most important thing to solve first is the safety issue." Yu Hong said seriously. "When you were away, there were two disguised people who came to cause trouble. This is too dangerous." His mind was spinning rapidly, how to use his unique black seal to obtain the greatest safety. "No way." The little stutterer obviously understood and considered this, and lowered his head in frustration. "Ghost shadows. Nothing can stop them. Insects can drill through as long as there is a gap." "They can penetrate the wall!" She gestured. Through the wall? ? Yu Hong was silent, looking at the wall in the house, he fell into thought. 'This place is too simple, the protection is too poor, and there are gaps and loopholes everywhere. 'He remembered that the black bugs had entered through the cracks in the door and window before, which meant that they probably couldn't get through the wall. He asked the little stutterer and got a positive answer. Then, after carefully checking the house, he quickly concluded that the house had very poor protection. "I plan to live alone. Find another place." He whispered. If you are alone, you don't have to worry about the pretender, and everyone just needs to stay at home. The little stutterer was stunned. She had saved many people before, but these people would want to spend more time with her and learn more basic skills before leaving. But the man in front of him. This man named Yu Hong, just woke up and felt a little better, but he actually wanted to live alone? Strange. Strange man. The little stutterer blinked. "You, aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid, but the safety of your house is too poor." Yu Hong probably knew the key points of this place from the information in his notebook at this time. "The main things that can attack us are monster bugs and ghosts. Although ghosts can pass through walls and ignore obstacles, they can be dispersed and driven away by using pyroxene. Monster bugs can be blocked by doors and walls, as long as the gaps are blocked at critical moments. In other words, if there are enough pyroxenes and a room with strong sealing, basic safety can be guaranteed, right?" Yu Hong calmed down and analyzed. His serious expression made the little stuttering boy stunned. "Would you like to give it a try? Use something to plug the gaps, narrow the holes, and see if bugs can come in. If they can, how big of a gap is needed, and then use this to make a vent network." Yu Hong asked. "Also, how exactly is pyroxene made? Can you teach me?" He asked seriously. Little Stutter looked at him and nodded unconsciously. At this moment, she seemed to see in the other person a figure deep in her memory that was extremely familiar and missed. After discussing it, the two began to prepare immediately. The little stutterer rummaged through and found tools, hammers, saws, discarded wooden boards, axes, spikes, etc., there were all kinds of miscellaneous things. Yu Hongda had just recovered from his illness, his fever had just subsided, and he was very weak, so he ordered Xiao Ba to work. He found that Little Stutter was very strong, much bigger than his normal state. He also has a strong constitution. He has occupied the bed these days, and the little stutterer sleeps on the ground, but he doesn't get sick at all. According to the records in the notebook, the black bug was officially named Blood Tide. It was obviously a black insect, but he didn't know why it was named Blood Tide, but Yu Hong couldn't care about this. He just wanted to know as much specific information about the bugs and the shadows as possible. The two of them had been busy all day long. It seemed that because their health was much better, there were no ghosts to disturb them. At night, there was no blood wave of insects. According to Xiao Zhuba, blood tides usually come every three to five days. Only enough light can ward off all bugs every time. The blood tide relies on light, and the shadow is afraid of pyroxene. This is the law of survival that people here rely on. The next day, the two continued to follow Yu Hong's idea, sawing wood strips, making movable seals, and completely sealing the remaining gaps in the doors and windows. The movable seal can be opened during the day and put down at night. The seal is very simple. This is just an attempt by Yu Hong. The more he hears about the dangers and troubles here from his little stuttering mouth, the more he wants to build a stronghold that can guarantee his basic safety, or in other words, a safe house. But the small stuttering house is far from meeting the requirements. Not to mention ghosts and bugs, the mold spots stuck everywhere in the corners of the house and the dirty and closed air can shorten the lifespan of people who have lived here for a long time. There is also water source, which is also a big problem. He felt that if he kept drinking that kind of dirty water, he might not be able to survive for long. Night time.
In the room, Little Stutter and Yu Hong stood together. Little Stutter held a candle high in his right hand, and the candlelight swayed, dispersing the darkness around him. Hiss The sound of crawling insects kept coming from outside the door and window, but due to the seal sealing the gap, the ventilation gap left was much smaller than before. These black bugs can't get in at all. "It works!" Yu Hong looked happy. He didn't expect that he just tried it casually and it actually worked. Little Stammer was also giggling happily. Because she found that there were no black insects coming in around her. Even if there were, they were only a few that slipped through the net and were quickly melted by the candlelight. In this way, the candles would be consumed slowly, and she would not have to go to the candle shop to buy them or spend a lot of money on them. This way she can relax a lot. Just when the two felt successful. Kaka Suddenly, a faint gnawing sound came from outside the sealed wooden board. The sealing boards at the gaps and the wooden doors and windows all began to make the same gnawing sound. "No! These bugs can't get in, so they seem to be chewing on the doors and windows!!" Yu Hong reacted immediately. Picking up a wooden stick in his hand, he rushed to the wooden door and pushed it hard to lift the bottom seal upwards. Wow! With a muffled sound, a large number of black insects squeezed in like a tide and rushed towards the two of them. hiss. The black bug rushed into the candlelight and was quickly melted, evaporated and dissipated. The candles also began to be consumed at an accelerated rate. In the bright yellow candlelight, Yu Hong looked at the scene in front of him, and his previous joy slowly disappeared. "If you can't get in, will you eat the outer wall of the house?" He finally understood why her parents didn't seal off Little Stutter's house before even though they knew there were black bugs. "Did you fail?" Little Stutter asked cautiously from behind. "It's not a complete failure." Yu Hong shook his head. A night of silence. Early the next morning. Yu Hong went out and left the village and came to the woodland under the hills.
He walked around the trees in the forest, tapping them with his hammer from time to time. Little Stutter had nothing to do and began to collect some herbs and pigment plants she knew for making ink. The exchange material she relies on for survival is pyroxene with symbols on it. According to her, the pyroxene behind the symbol drawn by Little Stutter is better than ordinary pyroxene. The sun was shining brightly, and while collecting, Little Stutter raised his head to look at Yu Hong, who was doing inexplicable behavior. "What are you doing here?" After watching for a while, she couldn't help but ask. "I'm choosing wood and a location to build my own safe house," Yu Hong replied. "Build a house by yourself?" The little stutterer couldn't understand. Could a house built by oneself be stronger than a house made of stone bricks?
